Femtocell Test

As a world leader in test and measurement solutions, Keysight continues to be at the forefront of emerging markets such as small-cell base stations. Femtocells are small-cell base stations typically designed for indoor use in residential or small business environments. They connect to a service provider’s network via the end user’s broadband internet. As small cells gain momentum, keeping pace with growing demand and aggressive schedules is easier when you have access to deeper resources. From R&D through manufacturing, Keysight has femtocell test equipment available now to help you meet your time to market goals. The EXF is the industry’s first one-box tester dedicated to femtocell manufacturing, and it’s validated with the latest cellular and WLAN chipsets. Access our expertise in base-station and high-volume testing and accelerate femtocell manufacturing with the EXF.

Today's aerospace/defense environment requires enhanced radar performance to detect weak signals at long distances. To provide the pure and precise signals needed to test these designs, the MXG uses an innovative triple-loop synthesizer to deliver phase noise performance of -146 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz and 20 kHz offset. For developers of radar components such as mixers and analog-to-digital converters, the MXG also features industry-leading spurious performance of -96 dBc at 1 GHz.

This article from Microwave Engineering Europe Jan/Feb 2009 discusses the issues that arise when integrating GPS into femtocells and outlines the test and verification requirements that this introduces.
